Cinco de Meow

This little charmer appeared in the original lumber bin one morning, very afraid of humans but completely trusting of the big dogs who had apparently coaxed her into the safety of the yard.  None of the neighbors claimed her, so we first assumed that some heartless owner just took her out to the "country" and left her to fend for herself.  That's usually a death sentence, but she found two rather formidable canine bodyguards and is turning into one arrogant cat.  

Originally dubbed "Cinco" as the garden's fifth feline, but now officially "Cinco de Meow" following the comment of a punster friend.  After she was somewhat tamed, we found that she had Fuzzer-type fur and strongly suspect that she's a descendant of Queenie, through Rabbi.  If so, how did she find her way "home"?  Why did the dogs, who never knew Queenie or any of her descendants, decide to adopt her?  There are a lot of unanswered questions in the history of this menagerie.  

The plot thickens.  She was so skittish that we didn't get her spayed in time and her canine bodyguards apparently put her desires over ours.  Sometime between dusk on April 24 and dawn of April 25, Cinco de Meow gave birth to five kittens.  She rejected all three sheltered birthing boxes and chose the lumber bin as her nursery.  With "Grandma Suze" and "Grandma Spook" standing guard at each end, there was no question about where the kittens were even though we could not see them.   We believe strongly in spaying & neutering, so this is the first litter born here and we're actually looking forward to them.  At least Cinco is such a sweetie that we already have homes lined up for them.  See Cinco's Cinco for photos.
